Many of the reporters who cover campaigns, shall we say, swim in the shallow end of the pool—and have, consequently, missed this. But what Kerry has consistently offered—beyond a (relatively minor) corporate tax restructuring, and an underreported (but dramatic) new focus on math and science education—is the beginning of an economic competitiveness agenda actually worthy of the next American president. A president who realizes that, in many ways, the world isn’t divided between good and evil, but between those getting ahead and those falling behind?...
...display unit. CDs and dvds slot in on the side of the screen. The speakers are hidden on the bottom, designed to bounce sound off your desk. Throw in the optional Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse, and the whole thing needs only one cable: the power cord. A minor gripe is that these don't come as standard; nor does Apple's wireless Internet card, the Airport. Who wouldn't want to do everything wirelessly with a computer like this? If Apple's history is any guide, most computers sold over the next four years will have this clean...
...tumult in one Chinese industrial backwater may seem a minor concern, but it has ominous overtones for the rest of Asia. China's fast-growing economy and voracious appetite for raw materials (as well as for cars, cell phones and other middle-class baubles) has made it an increasingly key trading partner for its neighbors.

The mainland's neighbors have already been warily monitoring Beijing's efforts to cool overheated sectors such as real estate, fearful that clampdowns...

The husband may have been ill used, but he's still desperately in love...
...CHARGE Kerry lied to get the first of three Purple Hearts. SBVT alleges that the wound was a minor, self-inflicted scratch. Kerry says on Dec. 2, 1968, he and his two crewmates that night fired on men on a riverbank. It's unclear if someone fired back, but shrapnel hit Kerry's arm. Louis Letson, a medical officer at the time, says that he treated Kerry's wound and that it was too small to justify a medal. William Schacte Jr. says he was on the boat that night and there was no enemy fire; he says Kerry...
